The vehicle was stopped, and after speaking with the driver, officers initiated an impaired driving investigation. The driver was taken into custody and transported to a local detachment for further testing.
MD Tawhidul JOY, 24-years-old, from Scarborough, has been charged with:
Operation while impaired � alcohol and drugs

Drive motor vehicle � perform stunt � excessive speed
The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg in February 2026. A 90-day Administrative Driver�s Licence Suspension (ADLS) and a 14-day vehicle impound were also imposed.
If you know or suspect that a driver is impaired by alcohol or drugs, call 9-1-1. Your call could prevent serious consequences. Impaired driving, whether by alcohol or drugs, is a criminal offence, and speeding is another dangerous behaviour that can lead to those same serious consequences. If you plan to drink or consume drugs, plan ahead: arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or choose another safe option. Slow down, stay sober, and help keep our roads safe for everyone.
